Everything is ready for the debut on Netflix of The Tearsmith (original title Fabbricante di lacrime), the film based on Erin Doom’s literary phenomenon. The streaming platform is about to launch a new film inspired by the novel by one of the most successful (and most mysterious) Italian writers in the contemporary publishing world. Let’s talk about Erin Doom and her Fabbricante di Lacrime, a 2021 novel, published by the Salani publishing house, which will soon become a film distributed by Netflix and produced by Colorado Film, part of Iginio Straffi’s Rainbow production company. The Tearsmith is a romantic and at the same time touching story whose protagonists are two orphan boys, Nica and Rigel, and a mysterious The Tearsmith ready to make you dream. But what do we know about The Tearsmith and when will it debut on Netflix? Let’s find out together.

The Tearsmith: The Plot

Within the walls of the Grave, the orphanage where Nica grew up, a legend has always been told of The Tearsmith, a mysterious craftsman, guilty of having forged all the fears and anxieties that inhabit the hearts of men. But at seventeen the time had come for Nica to leave fairy tales behind. Her dream, bigger than hers, is about to come true. The Milligans have started the adoption process and are ready to give her the family she has always wanted. In the new house, however, Nica is not alone. With her, Rigel, a restless and mysterious orphan, is taken away by the Grave, the last person in the world that Nica would want as her adoptive brother.

Rigel is intelligent, shrewd, plays the piano like a demon enchanter, and is endowed with a beauty capable of enchanting, but his angelic appearance hides a dark nature. Even if Nica and Rigel are united by a common past of pain and deprivation, coexistence between them seems impossible. Still, kindness and anger are two different ways of fighting pain to stay alive and to hide the emotions that devastate their hearts, becoming one for the other precisely that tear-maker of legend. You cannot lie to the manufacturer: and they will have to find the courage to accept that desperate force that attracts them to each other, called love.
